She has performed on the main stage at the Montreaux Detroit Jazz Festival and toured Europe with Motown acts.
She is a consummate entertainer who plays and sings original songs and original arrangements of popular cover songs she and her audiences love. Her performances are laced with engaging stories, running the gamut of life experiences from naughty blues, to jazz and pop ballads to familiar songs from a variety of genres. Each performance is sprinkled with her special brand of subtle humor. Her rich contralto voice has been described as some mix of Nora Jones, Cassandra Wilson and Nina Simone. It is a voice that can seduce a listener into the ecstasy of a memory or get them up on their feet and dancing. Jan’s repertoire includes songs she writes, and familiar blues, jazz, Motown, R&B, and pop, all delivered in her smooth jazz style.
Spencer currently performs in one of two formats:
